  • the cover rail then moves under load, which is disadvantageous.

  • the rail can be pivoted to a greater extent on the holding nails than in the prior art mentioned at the outset, however, the holding nails do not ensure secure support of the cover rail, but rather this deforms under load, the nails being pressed deeper into their dowels and when the cover rail is relieved move up again and, due to the elastic deformation of the rail, even move beyond its original position, which after a certain time leads to anchoring of the rail that is not wobble-free.

Abstract

The edging cover has a profiled base rail (12) with a horizontal fixing arm (18) and an upright support arm (20), and a profiled cover rail (14) with horizontal cover arm (28,30) and downward pointing support arm (32). An articulated head (22) at the top end of the base rail support arm or bottom end of the cover rail support arm (32) has a circular cylindrical outer face broken by a longitudinal groove (26) and having a circumferential angle greater than 180 deg. which is coaxial with the articulated axis. The articulated socket (32) has two thin-walled mirror-symmetrical curved walls (34,36) with a circumferential gap between the ends whose width is less than the diameter of the articulated head. The inner faces of the curved walls and an interconnecting intermediate face form a cohesive cylindrical face whose circumferential angle is greater than 180 deg.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fugenabdeckvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a joint covering device with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine Fugenabdeckvorrichtung dieser Art ist aus der DE-U-86 00241 bekannt. Am unteren Ende des Stützschenkels sind Verbreiterungsstege vorgesehen, deren Außenflächen auf einem gedachten Kreiszylinder liegen. Die Basisprofilschiene weist zwei aufrechte Tragschenkel auf, deren einander zugewandte Innenflächen jeweils mehrere Längsrillen aufweisen, deren Bodenflächen paarweise ebenfalls auf einem gedachten Kreiszylinder gleichen Durchmessers liegen. Je nach der Höhe der abzudeckenden Fuge rastet der Gelenkkopf der Abdeckprofilsschiene in ein passendes Rillenpaar ein. Die gelenkkopfartige Lagerung des Abdeckprofils erlaubt auch eine gewisse Schrägstellung, jedoch ist diese auf kleine Schwenkwinkel begrenzt. Bodenseitig wird der Stützschenkel der Abdeckschiene an der Basisschiene nicht abgestützt, vielmehr ruht die Abdeckschiene mit ihren Flügeln auf den benachbarten Bodenbelägen. Das Verrasten des Gelenkkopfes in den seitlichen Rillen der Tragschenkel wäre ein ideales Zufallsergebnis. Viel häufiger werden die Gelenkkopfflächen des Stützschenkels zwischen zwei Rillenpaaren der Tragschenkel zu liegen kommen, sodaß durchaus Fälle auftreten können, in denen der Gelenkkopf in das nächst höhere Rillenpaar ausweichen will, sodaß die Abdeckflügel der Abdeckschiene von den Bodenbelägen abheben. Die Abdeckschiene bewegt sich dann bei Belastung, was nachteilig ist.A joint covering device of this type is known from DE-U-86 00241. Widening webs are provided at the lower end of the support leg, the outer surfaces of which lie on an imaginary circular cylinder. The base profile rail has two upright support legs, the mutually facing inner surfaces of which each have a plurality of longitudinal grooves, the bottom surfaces of which also lie in pairs on an imaginary circular cylinder of the same diameter. Depending on the height of the joint to be covered, the joint head of the cover profile rail snaps into a suitable pair of grooves. The articulated head-like mounting of the cover profile also allows a certain inclination, but this is limited to small swivel angles. On the bottom side, the support leg of the cover rail is not supported on the base rail, rather the cover rail rests with its wings on the adjacent floor coverings. Locking the joint head in the lateral grooves of the support legs would be an ideal random result. The joint head surfaces of the support leg will come to rest much more frequently between two pairs of grooves of the support legs, so that there can certainly be cases in which the joint head wants to move into the next higher pair of grooves, so that the cover wings of the cover rail lift off the floor coverings. The cover rail then moves under load, which is disadvantageous.

Die FR-A-26 95 671 zeigt ebenfalls eine gelenkige Anbringung einer Abdeckschiene an separaten Basishaltern, die aus Nägeln bestehen, deren Köpfe deckseitig eben und bodenseitig kalottenförmig gewölbt sind. Die Abdeckschiene hat zwei spiegelbildlich gewölbte Stützschenkel, welche die Nagelköpfe untergreifen. Die Nägel müssen vor der Montage von einem Ende her in die Schiene eingeschoben werden und zur Montage werden die Nägel dann mit vorher gebohrten Dübellöchern im Boden ausgerichtet und durch Belastung der Abdeckschiene in diese Löcher hineingedrückt. Zwischen den gewölbten Tragschenkeln der Abdeckschiene ist an dieser eine V-förmige Verbindungsfläche vorgesehen, deren Scheitelkante auf der ebenen Deckfläche jedes Kopfnagels ruht. Die Schiene ist in einem größeren Maß an den Haltenägeln schwenkbarer als beim eingangs genannten Stand der Technik, jedoch gewährleisten die Haltenägel keine sichere Abstützung der Abdeckschiene, vielmehr verformt sich diese bei Belastung, wobei die Nägel tiefer in ihre Dübel hineingedrückt werden und bei Entlastung der Abdeckschiene wieder nach oben und aufgrund der elastischen Verformung der Schiene sogar über ihre Ursprungslage hinausfahren, was nach gewisser Zeit zu einer nicht wackelfreien Verankerung der Schiene führt. Denkbar wäre zwar, statt der einzelnen Kopfnägel eine Basisprofilschiene in die Abdeckschiene einzufahren, jedoch wäre dann die Montage der Basisschiene problematisch.FR-A-26 95 671 also shows an articulated attachment of a cover rail to separate base holders which consist of nails, the heads of which are flat on the top side and domed on the bottom side.

The nails must be in front of the Assembly are inserted from one end into the rail and for assembly the nails are then aligned with previously drilled dowel holes in the floor and pressed into these holes by loading the cover rail. Between the arched support legs of the cover rail, a V-shaped connecting surface is provided on the latter, the apex edge of which rests on the flat top surface of each head nail. The rail can be pivoted to a greater extent on the holding nails than in the prior art mentioned at the outset, however, the holding nails do not ensure secure support of the cover rail, but rather this deforms under load, the nails being pressed deeper into their dowels and when the cover rail is relieved move up again and, due to the elastic deformation of the rail, even move beyond its original position, which after a certain time leads to anchoring of the rail that is not wobble-free. Although it would be conceivable to insert a base profile rail into the cover rail instead of the individual head nails, the assembly of the base rail would then be problematic.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Fugenabdeckvorrichtung zu schaffen, die eine sichere Abstützung der Abdeckprofilschiene an der Basisprofilschiene nach dem Gelenkkopf-Gelenkpfannenprinzip gewährleistet, sodaß die Abdeckvorrichtung sowohl als Übergangsprofil zwischen Belägen gleicher Höhe als auch für Beläge unterschiedlichen Niveaus unter Schrägstellung der Abdeckprofilschiene eingesetzt werden kann, ein Lockern der Verbindung zwischen beiden Schienen ausgeschlossen ist und die sich schnell und problemlos montieren läßt.The object of the invention is to provide a joint cover device which ensures secure support of the cover profile rail on the base profile rail according to the joint head joint socket principle, so that the cover device can be used both as a transition profile between coverings of the same height and for coverings of different levels with the cover profile rail inclined , a loosening of the connection between the two rails is excluded and can be installed quickly and easily.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Fugenabdeckvorrichtung gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Obwohl der Gelenkkopf auch am unteren Ende des Stützschenkels der Abdeckprofilschiene vorgesehen werden kann, bildet er doch vorzugsweise das obere Ende des Tragschenkels der Basisprofilschiene. Dank der um ca. 135° herumreichenden zylindrischen Außenfläche des Gelenkkopfes, die bis an den schmalen Tragschenkel heranreicht und der sich um mehr als 180° herumerstreckenden konkaven Zylinderfläche der Gelenkpfanne, die vorzugsweise zwischen zwei dünnen Wänden der Abdeckprofilschiene gebildet ist, wird eine breite Abstützfläche im Gelenkbereich zwischen beiden Schienen geschaffen, deren Projektion auf die Ebene des Befestigungsschenkels der Basisprofilschiene gleich dem Durchmesser, also der breitesten Dimension des Gelenkkopfes ist. Die neue Fugenabdeckvorrichtung ist also auch bei sehr breiten Fugen einsetzbar, bei denen die mit ihren Rändern auf den Bodenbelägen aufliegenden Abdeckflügel deformiert werden würden, wenn die sichere Abstützung des Stützschenkels am Tragschenkel fehlen würde. Die neue Fugenabdeckvorrichtung erlaubt eine Schrägstellung der Abdeckprofilschiene um 30° oder mehr und ist daher auch als Sockelleiste einsetzbar. Die Gelenkpfanne untergreift den Gelenkkopf um ein Maß, das ein selbsttätiges Lösen der Gelenkverbindung sicher verhindert. Mit einem geeigneten Werkzeug kann die Schiene aber sehr wohl ausgerastet und erneut wieder eingerastet werden.This object is achieved by a joint covering device according to claim 1. Although the joint head can also be provided at the lower end of the support leg of the cover profile rail, it preferably forms the upper end of the support leg of the base profile rail. Thanks to the cylindrical outer surface of the joint head, which extends around 135 °, up to the narrow support leg and the concave cylindrical surface of the joint socket, which extends by more than 180 ° and is preferably formed between two thin walls of the cover profile rail, creates a broad support surface in the joint area between the two rails, the projection of which on the plane of the fastening leg of the base profile rail is equal to the diameter, is the widest dimension of the joint head. The new joint covering device can therefore also be used for very wide joints in which the covering wings resting on the edges of the floor coverings would be deformed if the supporting leg were not securely supported on the supporting leg. The new joint cover device allows the cover profile rail to be tilted by 30 ° or more and can therefore also be used as a skirting board. The joint socket engages under the joint head by an amount that reliably prevents the joint connection from being released automatically. With a suitable tool, however, the rail can very well be snapped out and snapped back in again.

Eine sehr vorteilhafte Weiterbildung liegt in einem Montageprofilschienenstück, das zwei parallele voneinander abgewandte äußere Anlageflächen aufweist, die in einer zu ihnen rechtwinkligen Bodenebene enden, an der eine Aufnahmekammer mündet, die ein, dem Innenquerschnitt der Gelenkpfanne der Abdeckprofilschiene wenigstens angenähert gleiches Profil aufweist. Dieses Montageprofil wird für Fugenabdeckungen verwendet, bei denen die Basisprofilschiene den Gelenkkopf trägt. Für die Alternative, bei der der Gelenkkopf an der Abdeckprofilschiene vorgesehen ist, wird das Montageprofil entsprechend angepaßt, sodaß statt der Aufnahmekammer ein Gelenkkopf vorgesehen wird, der dann mit der Gelenkpfanne der Basisprofilschiene in Eingriff gebracht, d.h. vorzugsweise lösbar verrastet werden kann. Ein derartiges Montageprofilschienenstück ist für diese Erfindungsvariante wesentlich.A very advantageous further development lies in a mounting profile rail piece which has two parallel outer contact surfaces facing away from one another, which end in a floor plane perpendicular to them, at which a receiving chamber opens, which has a profile which is at least approximately the same as the inner cross section of the joint socket of the cover profile rail. This mounting profile is used for joint covers where the base profile rail supports the joint head. For the alternative, in which the joint head is provided on the cover profile rail, the mounting profile is adapted accordingly, so that instead of the receiving chamber, a joint head is provided, which can then be brought into engagement with the joint socket of the base profile rail, ie can preferably be releasably locked. Such a mounting profile rail piece is essential for this variant of the invention.

Mit einem oder vorzugsweise mehreren Montageprofilschienenstücken läßt sich die erfindungsgemäße Fugenabdeckvorrichtung sehr genau montieren, indem das Montageprofil oder vorzugsweise die mehreren Montageprofile mit ihrem Gelenkteil mit dem komplementären Gelenkteil am Tragschenkel der Basisprofilschiene in Eingriff gebracht wird und letztere auf einer boden- oder wandseitigen Befestigungsfläche in eine Position verschoben wird, in der das Montageprofilschienenstück sich mit einer seiner Anlageflächen an einer rechtwinklig zur Befestigungsfläche liegenden Wand- oder Bodenfläche abstützt, die Basisprofilschiene in dieser Position an der Befestigungsfläche befestigt, also insbesondere angeschraubt wird und nach Abnahme des mindestens einen Montageprofilschienenstückes vom Gelenkteil der Basisprofilschiene auf dieses die Abdeckprofilschiene aufgeclipst wird. Die Montageprofilschienenstücke dienen auch als Wandabstandshalter für das Verlegen der ersten Reihe eines Parkett- oder Fliesenbelages, wobei hier eine zusätzliche Stützfläche am Montageprofilschienenstück zur Anwendung kommt. Mit diesem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren kann die Basisprofilschiene positionsgenau mit Bezug auf den fertigen Belag so angeschraubt oder angenagelt werden, daß ein paßgenauer Sitz der aufgeclipsten Abdeckprofilschiene garantiert ist.With one or preferably several assembly profile rail pieces, the joint covering device according to the invention can be assembled very precisely by engaging the assembly profile or preferably the plurality of assembly profiles with their joint part with the complementary joint part on the supporting leg of the base profile rail and the latter in a position on a floor or wall-side fastening surface is displaced, in which the mounting profile rail piece is supported with one of its contact surfaces on a wall or floor surface lying at right angles to the mounting surface, the base profile rail is fastened to the mounting surface in this position, that is, in particular is screwed on, and after removal of the at least one mounting profile rail piece from the hinge part of the base profile rail the cover profile rail is clipped on. The mounting profile rail pieces also serve as wall spacers for laying the first row of a parquet or tile covering, with an additional support surface being used on the mounting profile rail piece. With this method according to the invention, the base profile rail can be screwed or nailed in position with respect to the finished covering in such a way that a snug fit of the clipped cover profile rail is guaranteed.

Anhand der Zeichnung, die Ausführungsbeispiele darstellt, wird die Erfindung näher beschrieben.The invention is described in more detail with reference to the drawing, which shows exemplary embodiments.

Eine Fugenabdeckvorrichtung 10 besteht aus einer Basisprofilschiene 12 und einer Abdeckprofilschiene 14, die beide durch eine Gelenkkopf-Pfannenverbindung 16 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Basisprofilschiene 12 hat einen liegenden, sich konisch verjüngenden Befestigungsschenkel 18 und einen aufrecht stehenden Tragschenkel 20, der oben in einem Gelenkkopf 22 endet. Zwischen dem Gelenkkopf 22 und dem Tragschenkel 20 befindet sich ein halsartig verengter Schenkelansatz 24. Diesem diametral gegenüberliegend, weist der Gelenkkopf eine Längsnut 26 auf. Mit Ausnahme letzterer und dem Schenkelansatz 24 liegen die Außenflächen des Gelenkkopfes 22 auf einem Kreiszylinder.A joint cover device 10 consists of a base profile rail 12 and a cover profile rail 14, both of which are connected to one another by a joint head-socket connection 16. The base profile rail 12 has a lying, conically tapering fastening leg 18 and an upright support leg 20 which ends at the top in a joint head 22. Between the joint head 22 and the support leg 20 there is a neck neck 24 which is narrowed like a neck. Opposite this, the joint head has a longitudinal groove 26. With the exception of the latter and the leg extension 24, the outer surfaces of the joint head 22 lie on a circular cylinder.

Die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 hat gemäß Fig. 3 zwei unterschiedlich lange Abdeckschenkel 28, 30, zwischen denen sich bodenseitig ein zweiarmiger Stützschenkel 32 befindet, dessen beide Arme kreisbogenförmig konturierte Wände 34, 36 bilden, deren Innenflächen koaxial liegen, wobei der Innendurchmesser des Stützschenkels 32 dem Außendurchmesser des Gelenkkopfes 22 entspricht. Die kreiszylindrischen Innenflächen der beiden Wände 34, 36 schließen zwischen den beiden Abdeckschenkeln 28, 30 bündig aneinander an. Der Stützschenkel 32 mit seinen beiden gewölbten Wänden 34, 36 bildet eine Gelenkpfanne.According to FIG. 3, the cover profile rail 14 has two cover legs 28, 30 of different lengths, between which there is a two-armed support leg 32 on the bottom, the two arms of which form walls 34, 36 which are contoured in a circular arc and whose inner surfaces lie coaxially, the inner diameter of the support leg 32 being the outer diameter of the joint head 22 corresponds. The circular cylindrical inner surfaces of the two walls 34, 36 close between the two cover legs 28, 30 to each other. The support leg 32 with its two curved walls 34, 36 forms a joint socket.

Die beiden gewölbten Wände 34, 36 der Gelenkpfanne erstrecken sich vom Abdeckschenkelbereich je über einen Umfangswinkel von mehr als 90°. Zwischen den Enden der beiden gewölbten Wände 34, 36 bleibt eine Öffnung 38 (FIG. 11), deren Breite kleiner als der Innendurchmesser der Gelenkpfanne ist. Beim Aufsetzen der Abdeckprofilschiene 14 muß somit ein Druck ausgeübt werden, um die beiden Wände 34, 36 aufzuweiten. Diese schnappen dann in der Endposition der Abdeckprofilschiene 14 um den Gelenkkopf 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12 zurück. Die beiden Schienen 12, 14 sind damit verrastet. Gleichwohl verbleibt eine Schwenkbarkeit der Abdeckschiene 14 um die Achse des Gelenkkopfes 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12.The two curved walls 34, 36 of the joint socket each extend from the cover leg area over a circumferential angle of more than 90 °. Between the ends of the two curved walls 34, 36 there remains an opening 38 (FIG. 11), the width of which is smaller than the inside diameter of the socket. When the cover profile rail 14 is put on, pressure must therefore be exerted in order to widen the two walls 34, 36. These then snap back in the end position of the cover rail 14 around the joint head 22 of the base rail 12. The two rails 12, 14 are thus locked. Nevertheless, the cover rail 14 remains pivotable about the axis of the joint head 22 of the base profile rail 12.

Wie Fig. 3 deutlich veranschaulicht, liegt der längere Abdeckschenkel 28 an der Wand an, die hier ohne Belag dargestellt ist. Würde ein Fliesenbelag vorhanden sein, so würde die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 eine im Uhrzeigergegendrehsinn geschwenkte Stellung einnehmen und sich mit dem Abdeckschenkel 28 am Belag anlehnen, der seinerseits den Befestigungsschenkel 18 der Basisprofilschiene 12 überdeckt.As clearly illustrated in FIG. 3, the longer cover leg 28 lies against the wall, which is shown here without a covering. If a tile covering were present, the cover profile rail 14 would assume a position pivoted in a counterclockwise direction and would lean against the cover leg 28, which in turn covers the fastening leg 18 of the base profile rail 12.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 veranschaulichen ein Montageprofilschienenstück 40, das mit der Basisprofilschiene 12 verbunden werden kann und die Dimensionierung der Fugen und deren Abdeckung sehr erleichtert. Ein solches Montageprofilschienenstück hat zwei parallele Anlageflächen 42, 44, deren eine mit Längsnuten versehen ist. Diese beiden Anlageflächen 42, 44 enden in einer zu den Anlageflächen rechtwinkligen Bodenebene 46, in der auch eine Aufnahmekammer 48 für den Gelenkkopf 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12 mündet. Die Innenkontur der Aufnahmekammer 48 entspricht derjenigen der Gelenkpfanne am Stützschenkel 32 der Abdeckprofilschiene 14. Die beiden Anlageflächen 42, 44 haben vom Zentrum der Aufnahmekammer 48 ungleiche Abstände. An die von diesem Zentrum weiter abliegende Anlagefläche 44 schließt sich rechtwinklig eine Stützfläche 50 an, die also parallel zur Bodenebene 46 liegt. Die Breite dieser Fläche 50 ist geringer als diejenige der Anlageflächen 42, 44. Das Ende der Stützfläche 50 wird durch einen rechtwinklig angesetzten Steg 52 definiert, an dem eine dritte, zu den beiden Anlageflächen 42, 44 parallele Anlagefläche ausgebildet ist..Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a mounting rail piece 40, which can be connected to the base rail 12 and the dimensioning of the joints and their cover very easy. Such a mounting profile rail piece has two parallel contact surfaces 42, 44, one of which is provided with longitudinal grooves. These two contact surfaces 42, 44 end in a floor plane 46 perpendicular to the contact surfaces, in which a receiving chamber 48 for the joint head 22 of the base profile rail 12 also opens. The inner contour of the receiving chamber 48 corresponds to that of the joint socket on the support leg 32 of the cover profile rail 14. The two contact surfaces 42, 44 are unequal from the center of the receiving chamber 48 Distances. A support surface 50 adjoins the contact surface 44 further away from this center, which is therefore parallel to the floor plane 46. The width of this surface 50 is smaller than that of the contact surfaces 42, 44. The end of the support surface 50 is defined by a web 52 which is attached at right angles and on which a third contact surface is formed which is parallel to the two contact surfaces 42, 44.

Wie Figur 1 erläutert, dient die Stützfläche 50 des Montageprofilschienenstückes 40 zur Abstützung eines Boden B, der hier als Parkett dargestellt ist. Mehrere Montageprofilschienenstücke werden dazu in einer Reihe angeordnet, sodaß die erste Reihe der Parkettelemente mit Wandabstand positioniert wird. Nachdem der Bodenbelag B fertiggestellt ist, werden die Montageprofilschienenstücke 40 entfernt und auf eine Basisprofilschiene 12 aufgesteckt, wie dies Fig. 2 veranschaulicht. Die Enden der U-Schenke der Aufnahmekammer 48 übergreifen dabei den Tragschenkel 20 der Basisprofilschiene 12, sodaß keine Relativverschwenkung möglich ist. Nachdem alle Montageprofilschienenstücke 40 auf dem Gelenkkopf 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12 aufgerastet sind, werden sie mit der Basisprofilschiene 12 auf dem Belag B verschoben, bis deren Befestigungsschenkel 18 die Wand W berührt. In dieser Position wird die Basisprofilschiene 12 jeweils zwischen zwei Montageprofilschienenstücken 40 an der Wand festgeschraubt. Die Basisprofilschiene 12 hat dann bezüglich des Bodenbelages B einen exakt vorgegebenen Abstand, der für die zugehörige Abdeckprofilschiene 14 geeignet ist. In der Position der Montageprofilschienenstücke gemäß Fig. 2, kann auch ein Fliesenbelag aufgebracht werden, für dessen unterste Elementenreihe die Anlagefläche 44 der Montageprofilschienenstücke 40 zur Ausrichtung und Abstützung dient.As explained in FIG. 1, the support surface 50 of the mounting profile rail piece 40 serves to support a floor B, which is shown here as parquet. For this purpose, several mounting profile rail pieces are arranged in a row, so that the first row of the parquet elements is positioned at a distance from the wall. After the floor covering B is finished, the mounting profile rail pieces 40 are removed and plugged onto a base profile rail 12, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The ends of the U-legs of the receiving chamber 48 overlap the support leg 20 of the base rail 12, so that no relative pivoting is possible. After all mounting profile rail pieces 40 have been snapped onto the joint head 22 of the base profile rail 12, they are moved with the base profile rail 12 on the covering B until the fastening leg 18 touches the wall W. In this position, the base profile rail 12 is screwed onto the wall between two mounting profile rail pieces 40. The base profile rail 12 then has a precisely predetermined distance with respect to the floor covering B, which is suitable for the associated cover profile rail 14. In the position of the mounting profile rail pieces according to FIG. 2, a tile covering can also be applied, for the bottom row of elements of which the contact surface 44 of the mounting profile rail pieces 40 is used for alignment and support.

Fig. 4 zeigt die letztbeschriebene Parkettmontage allerdings mit einer Basisprofilschiene 12, die einen höheren Tragschenkel 20 aufweist und wegen dieser größeren Höhe aus Stabilitätsgründen zweiarmig ausgebildet ist. Die Höhe des Bodenbelages B in den Figuren 4 und 5 entspricht etwa dem Niveau des Gelenkkopfes 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12, sodaß die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 im montierten Zustand nahezu horizontal liegt. Dieselben Profilschienen 12, 14 können in Figur 5 auch für dünnere Bodenbeläge B verwendet werden. Die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 würde dann entsprechende Neigungsstellungen einnehmen.Fig. 4 shows the last-described parquet assembly, however, with a base rail 12, which has a higher support leg 20 and is designed with two arms because of this greater height for reasons of stability. The height of the flooring B in the Figures 4 and 5 corresponds approximately to the level of the joint head 22 of the base rail 12, so that the cover rail 14 is almost horizontal in the assembled state. The same profile rails 12, 14 can also be used in FIG. 5 for thinner floor coverings B. The cover profile rail 14 would then assume corresponding inclination positions.

Die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 gemäß Figur 6 hat ebenfalls einen zweiarmigen Stützschenkel 32, dessen Wände 34, 36 jedoch kürzer sind, als diejenigen bei der Ausführung gemäß Figuren 3 und 5, sodaß sie einen Umfangswinkel von weniger als 180° einschließen. Gleichwohl bildet dieser Stützschenkel 32 ebenfalls eine Gelenkpfanne für den Gelenkkopf 22 eines Befestigungsschenkels 12, der sich von demjenigen der vorbeschriebenen Ausführung gemäß Figuren 3 und 5 durch einen Tragschenkel 20 mittlerer Höhe und durch zwei voneinander abgewandte Befestigungsschenkel 18 unterscheidet. Die Höhe des Tragschenkels 20 gemäß Fig. 6 liegt zwischen derjenigen des Tragschenkels 20 gemäß Figur 3 und derjenigen gemäß Figuren 4 und 5. Wegen der kürzeren gewölbten Wände 34, 36 kann die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 mit der Basisprofilschiene 12 nicht verrastet werden, deswegen ist eine andere Verbindungsart vorgesehen. Die Längsnut 26 nimmt bei der Ausführung gemäß Figur 6 eine Klebeschnur 54 auf. Die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 muß bei dieser Ausführungsform in der endgültigen Neigungsstellung am Gelenkkopf 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12 angelegt und angedrückt werden, da eine nachträgliche Verschwenkung dann nicht mehr möglich ist. Diese Ausführungsform mit kürzerer Umfangserstreckung der Gelenkpfanne verzichtete zwar auf das Klemm- oder Verrastungsprinzip, ermöglicht aber eine größere Verschwenkung der Abdeckprofilschiene und gehört daher als Alternative zum Wesen der Erfindung. Die Abdeckschenkel 28, die hier gleich lang ausgebildet sind, weisen benachbart dem Gelenkpfannen-Stützschenkel 32 bodenseitige Biegenuten 56 für die Abdeckschenkel 28 auf. Damit ist eine Feinanpassung an die beiderseitigen Belagniveaus möglich, indem die Abdeckschenkel 28 oder mindestens ein Abdeckschenkel 28 längs der Biegenut 56 gegenüber dem angrenzenden Schienenabschnitt vorgebogen also abgeknickt geliefert wird (vgl. Fig. 9 und 11) und sich beim Aufclipsen der Abdeckprofilschiene 14 entsprechend zurückbiegt, womit eine sichere Anlage der Abdeckschenkel 28 mit federnder Vorspannung an den Belägen erzielt wird.The cover profile rail 14 according to FIG. 6 also has a two-armed support leg 32, the walls 34, 36 of which, however, are shorter than those in the embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 5, so that they enclose a circumferential angle of less than 180 °. Nevertheless, this support leg 32 also forms a joint socket for the joint head 22 of a fastening leg 12, which differs from that of the above-described embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 5 by a supporting leg 20 of medium height and by two fastening legs 18 facing away from one another. The height of the support leg 20 according to FIG. 6 lies between that of the support leg 20 according to FIG. 3 and that according to FIGS. 4 and 5. Because of the shorter curved walls 34, 36, the cover profile rail 14 cannot be locked with the base profile rail 12, which is why it is different Connection type provided. The longitudinal groove 26 receives an adhesive cord 54 in the embodiment according to FIG. 6. In this embodiment, the cover profile rail 14 must be placed and pressed on the joint head 22 of the base profile rail 12 in the final inclination position, since subsequent pivoting is then no longer possible. This embodiment with a shorter circumferential extension of the joint socket dispensed with the principle of clamping or latching, but enables the cover profile rail to be pivoted to a greater extent and is therefore an alternative to the essence of the invention. The cover legs 28, which are of the same length here, have, next to the joint socket support leg 32, bottom-side bending grooves 56 for the cover legs 28. This enables a fine adjustment to the mutual covering levels by the cover leg 28 or at least one cover leg 28 is supplied prebent along the bending groove 56 with respect to the adjacent rail section (see FIGS. 9 and 11) and bends back accordingly when the cover profile rail 14 is clipped on, with the result that the cover leg 28 rests securely with a resilient prestress is achieved on the rubbers.

Figur 7 veranschaulicht eine Abdeckprofilschiene 14, die hinsichtlich der Gelenkpfannenausbildung mit derjenigen gemäß Fig. 6 übereinstimmt. In der mittleren Längsebene der Gelenkpfanne weist die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 längsbeabstandete Bohrungen 58 auf, durch die hindurch Schrauben 60 in den Gelenkkopf 22 der Basisprofilschiene 12 eingeschraubt werden können. In jeder Schwenkstellung der Abdeckprofilschiene 14 schneiden die Schrauben 60 die Achse des Gelenkkopfprofils.FIG. 7 illustrates a cover profile rail 14 which corresponds to that according to FIG. 6 with regard to the joint socket design. In the central longitudinal plane of the socket, the cover profile rail 14 has longitudinally spaced bores 58 through which screws 60 can be screwed into the joint head 22 of the base profile rail 12. In each pivot position of the cover profile rail 14, the screws 60 cut the axis of the joint head profile.

Die Haftverbindung gemäß Figur 6 und/oder die Schraubverbindung gemäß Figur 7 kann auch bei der Rastverbindung der Fugenabdeckvorrichtung 10 gemäß Figur 3 verwendet werden.The adhesive connection according to FIG. 6 and / or the screw connection according to FIG. 7 can also be used for the snap connection of the joint covering device 10 according to FIG. 3.

Die Figuren 8 und 9 veranschaulichen die Abdeckung einer Übergangsfuge zwischen zwei Belägen B1 und B2 unterschiedlicher Höhe. Als Basisprofilschiene 12 dient diejenige gemäß Figuren 6 und 7. Die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 entspricht derjenigen gemäß Fig. 3, jedoch ist der kürzere der beiden Abdeckschenkel 28, 30 länger ausgebildet und beide Abdeckschenkel haben die bodenseitigen Biegenuten 56. Der kürzere Abdeckschenkel 30 ist vor der Montage der Abdeckproflilschiene 14 geringfügig und der längere Abdeckschenkel 28 stark um die jeweilige Biegenut 56 abwärts abgeknickt. Bei der Montage biegen sich beide Abdeckschenkel 28, 30 um ihre Biegenuten 56 zurück also aufwärts, sodaß sie federnd vorgespannt an den Belägen B1 und B2 anliegen.FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate the covering of a transition joint between two coverings B1 and B2 of different heights. The base profile rail 12 is that of FIGS. 6 and 7. The cover profile rail 14 corresponds to that of FIG. 3, but the shorter of the two cover legs 28, 30 is longer and both cover legs have the bottom-side bending grooves 56. The shorter cover leg 30 is before assembly the covering profile rail 14 is slightly bent and the longer covering leg 28 is bent down sharply around the respective bending groove 56. During assembly, both cover legs 28, 30 bend back upward about their bending grooves 56, so that they bear resiliently biased against the coverings B1 and B2.

Die Montageprofilschienenstücke 40 gemäß Fig. 8 ermöglichen eine positionsrichtige Ausrichtung der ersten Reihe der Belagelemente des Bodenbelages B1. Würde man statt der Basisprofilschiene 12 mittlerer Höhe diejenige von niedriger Höhe gemäß Figuren 2 und 3 verwenden, müßten der Abdeckschenkel 30 überhaupt nicht und der Abdeckschenkel 28 wesentlich geringer abgebogen werden und die Anlagefläche 42 der Montageprofilschienenstücke 40 könnte auch zur Anlage am Bodenbelag B2 verwendet werden.The mounting profile rail pieces 40 according to FIG. 8 enable the first row of the covering elements of the floor covering B1 to be aligned in the correct position. If, instead of the base rail 12 of medium height, the one of low height according to FIGS. 2 and 3 would be used, the cover leg 30 would not have to be bent at all and the cover leg 28 would be bent much less and the contact surface 42 of the mounting profile rail pieces 40 could also be used for contacting the floor covering B2.

Die Figuren 10 und 13 veranschaulichen die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 und die Basisprofilschiene 12 als Einzelteile. Figur 11 zeigt die Abdeckprofilschiene 14 als Einzelteil mit abgeknicktem Abdeckschenkel 28. Fig. 12 zeigt die Basisprofilschiene 12 mit niedrigster Ausführung des Tragschenkels 20. Fig. 15 zeigt ein Montageprofilschienenstück 40 mit nur einer Anlagefläche 44. Die Gelenkpfannenausbildung endet an der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Schienenstückes. Die Basisprofilschiene gemäß Fig. 12 und die Montageprofilschienenstücke gemäß Fig. 15, können extrem wandnah montiert werden. Figur 14 zeigt eine vorteilhafte Abwandlung des Montageprofilschienenstückes 40 insofern, als die Aufnahmekammer 48 U-förmig konturiert ist, wobei sich an eine halbzylindrische Wölbungsfläche zwei ebene parallele Vertikalflächen anschließen. Dieses Montageprofilschienenstück 40 kann einfach von oben auf den Gelenkkopf 22 unter Überlappung des Tragschenkels 20 aufgesetzt werden. Es verrastet nicht am Gelenkkopf und kann daher auch kraftfrei wieder abgenommen werden, sodaß keine unzulässigen Hebekräfte auf die Basisprofilschiene 12 ausgeübt werden.Figures 10 and 13 illustrate the cover rail 14 and the base rail 12 as individual parts. FIG. 11 shows the cover profile rail 14 as an individual part with a bent cover leg 28. FIG. 12 shows the base profile rail 12 with the lowest version of the support leg 20. FIG. 15 shows a mounting profile rail piece 40 with only one contact surface 44. The socket joint formation ends on the opposite side of the rail piece. The base profile rail according to FIG. 12 and the mounting profile rail pieces according to FIG. 15 can be mounted extremely close to the wall. FIG. 14 shows an advantageous modification of the mounting profile rail piece 40 insofar as the receiving chamber 48 is contoured in a U-shape, with two flat parallel vertical surfaces adjoining a semi-cylindrical curvature surface. This mounting profile rail piece 40 can simply be placed from above onto the joint head 22 with the support leg 20 overlapping. It does not latch on the joint head and can therefore be removed again without force, so that no unacceptable lifting forces are exerted on the base profile rail 12.
